Introduction:

Carl Rhoades is the command chaplain at the naval base, and is interested in having people come in to explain their faith to educate officers and senior enlisted personnel on needed sensitivities. We felt that we can provide a list of names and emails. Contact Information Deleted for Security Reasons. The group suggested asking Lotker to nominate a speaker, and Ferial for Islam, and Bob Skelton for LDS. Tim will ping the group for others. Present it as a tentative program for January. He’d like to be added to the email list.
